Russellville Public Works Director Morgan Barrett told the City Council during Thursday night's regular meeting he will bring an updated version of the city's five-year Capital Improvement Plan for review next month.

The council will also review in February an amended zoning ordinance. City Planner Jim von Tungeln told aldermen Thursday night the amendments should update about 90 percent of the city's ordinances pertaining to zoning, and will be available for public review on the city's Web site (russellvillearkansas.org).

Council members will also take another look at amendments to the city's ordinance regarding its personnel policy manual. Alderman Robert Wiley said Barrett will provide a shorter version.

After a resident spoke during a public hearing on an ordinance to vacate the north 10 feet of East "E" Street, block 80, lots 9-12 of the J.L. Shinn Addition, the council approved reading the ordinance one time by a short description, but failed to garner enough votes for passage. Wiley, Faye Abernathy and Bill Eaton voted against the ordinance, while Freddie Harris abstained, saying she would like additional time to analyze the situation.

Mayor Tyrone Williamson, answering a question from Barrett, said it would be brought back to next month's meeting.

n Appropriation of $5,000 for animal control donations and $8,500 for animal control improvements.

All members were present, including Wiley, Abernathy, Eaton, Harris, Scott Sanders, Randal Croucy, Phil Carruth and Cliff Kirchner. Also attending were City Clerk Kathy Collins and City Attorney Trey Smith.
